Bequests

Planned giving helps you maximize the tax benefits of your
charitable giving while allowing you to provide a gift that you may not have
thought possible.There are many ways to
provide a contribution to the Gardens, but all planned gifts have one benefit
in common – they encourage thoughtful financial planning and help people make a
lasting investment at the Gardens.

Bequests are the simplest way to leave a gift to the
Botanical Gardens.A bequest can be an
unrestricted gift that will allow us to apply the gift where the need is
greatest.A bequest can also be
designated for a specific purpose.If
you are considering a restricted bequest, please contact us for an opportunity
to discuss your ideas before you finalize your gift.
